How to Store the Tofu and Eggplant Stir-Fry

Let the stir-fry cool down to room temperature. Transfer the stir-fry to an airtight container. Store it separately if you have leftover cauliflower rice or other keto-friendly rice substitutes. Refrigerate the container for up to 4 days. When ready to eat the stir-fry, reheat it in a skillet or microwave until heated. Serve the reheated stir-fry over the leftover cauliflower rice or freshly cooked cauliflower rice.

It’s important to note that while the stir-fry will remain in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, it’s best to eat it within 2-3 days for optimal freshness and flavor. Additionally, store the stir-fry and rice separately to prevent the rice from getting too soggy.
